We’re still rummaging through our vacation photos from last month. This one shows what a perfect day at Canyon de Chelly looks like. Verna thinks so too. Click the image to enlarge.

Topsy Turvy
Topsy Turvy is the nickname of the eschevaria that produced these delicate little flowers. Looking at the appearance of the leaves on this plant gives you some notion as to why it has that nickname. Click to enlarge.
Half of the Fun
. . . when you’re on vacation, is trying to figure out what to photograph next.

Bromeliad
Our Bromeliad is currently blooming on the front porch. It gets even more interesting than this when all of the pinks and blues come out as the bloom matures over the next few weeks. Click on the image for a larger view.
[Note from Bob: Get out your 3D anaglyph glasses and see a stereo photo of one of these I took a couple of years ago.]
Serrano Peppers
Not only are they fun and easy to grow, they provide two distinct qualities: hot spicy pictures and hot spicy whatever you want. Click to enlarge.
Wheee!
A couple of years ago, Mozilla had a contest to produce a video promoting the Firefox® web browser. Without taking sides in the debate about whose browser is better, I have to say that this one entry was not only quite imaginative, but very humorous.
I use both Firefox and Internet Explorer at work. At home, Verna uses Explorer and I use Firefox unless I’m testing browser compatibility with one of the websites. I have used Netscape and Opera in the past as well, and each has it’s strong and weak points. It’s more a matter of preference, I suppose, and there are no right or wrong answers.
You can see the original video here and learn about the contest they had.
